Many waves II: Fourier
This chapter considers the sum of many plane waves propagating at different angles. It is shown that the sum of many plane waves (Fourier optics) is mathematically equivalent to a sum of many curved waves (the Huygens–Fresnel principle). The Fourier approach is exploited to solve a range of common diffraction problems, including diffraction by a regular array.
